Anyone got a good resource for owners manuals etc for Audis? I'm a bit confused about the multi-function thingamie above the warning lights - it keeps cycling between a petrol pump (well i've guessed that one!) and what looks to be a brake symbol - sort of (O) - with a thermometer inside? or is it a fluid level?
do these (90 Quattro, possibly sport model) suckers have any kind of MFA or trip computer?
oh and anyone know how the ignition assembly goes back together? is a car MoT'able if the ignition switch is dangling by your knees?

The multi-function warning system on these cars can play up if they have been left standing. Mine once gave me low fuel, low oil pressure and low voltage warnings on the first journey after it had been standing a month. However, if the system itself is working OK, the brake warning may be fluid level, or it might be warning of low pressure in the (notoriously troublesome) hydraulic brake servo system. You'll find a sender unit on the servo with two wires on it. Pull one of them off and see if the light goes out.
No MFA or trip computer as standard - might be an optional extra.

And one other thing... try www.20V.org for lots of useful technical info.

cheers for that... the light goes out after about a minute at idle so i don't think it's anything to fret about, just wanted to swot up in case some odd symbol comes up during driving!
that 20v site is pretty good.... but nothing on the ignition switch assembly. damn! guess i'm going to have to take the steering wheel off and the instruments out and look into it myself.

Put your foot on the Brake and it should go out Its a self check thing, if it doesnt go out and keeps flashing, check the Fluid level, if its down it will flag up on the Display HTH Dom

You should be fine on the ignition lock shnizzle. The Volvo's been like that for 2 years (see comedy barge pics thread). Although since the MOT man buys all his parts via my dad I can't guarantee that's entierly legit....

i'll take it for an MoT and see what it fails on.... just noticed a bloody crack in the windscreen, dead centre about 6 inches from the bottom. poo. it's only about half an inch long if that. the rear centre panel is cracked but the only light that is affected is the reversing lights, and the bulb still works so it should be ok with the white light. it might even pass!! (year right-oh)
cheers for the info dom... didn't realise it did all the checks.
